Sometimes it's just convenient to download a file using the curl command. Did you also know that when doing so, you can limit the download rate/speed? The next time you want to do just that, give the following construct a try:
$ curl --limit-rate <download rate> <URL/filename>
You make the call on the <download rate> - 50K, 100K, 200K, etc.
